11.

SUBSTITUTE SHOWMAN: A. The purpose of the show is to enable youth to have a satisfactory experience in the show ring. Therefore it is the responsibility of the 4-H or FFA exhibitor to show his/her own animal. The only exceptions allowed are: 1. If sickness or physical injury after arriving at the show prevents the owner from showing his/her own animal. In the case of a previous injury or illness prohibiting an exhibitor from showing, a doctor's excuse will be required. 2. If the exhibitor has two or more animals in the same class or of different breeds that are to be shown at the same time. 3. If the exhibitor finds it impossible to attend due to other commitments. Verification of this activity must be confirmed in writing by the FFA chapter adviser or county extension agent. This written verification must be presented at check-in. In the above instances the exhibitor may request a substitute showman. If approved, a written substitute showman permission slip will be given to the exhibitor. The substitute showman must notify the ring manager when entering the ring that he/she is not the owner. The substitute showman must be another 4-H or FFA member of the same age or younger. The substitute showman will not be considered for a Master Showman award. Any exhibitor receiving a substitute showman permission slip who attends the show and is physically capable of showing will be disqualified.

23.

All exhibitors are expected to follow and adhere to the PDCA Show Ring Code of Ethics as follows: The Purebred Dairy Cattle Association Show Ring Code of Ethics Adopted April 3, 2004

The showing of registered dairy cattle stimulates and sustains interest in the breeding of registered dairy cattle. It is also an important part of the promotion, merchandising and breeding program of many breeders. For these reasons, the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA) believes that it is in the best interest of all breeders of registered dairy cattle to maintain a reputation of integrity in dairy cattle shows and to present a wholesome and progressive image of dairy cattle in the show ring. PDCA endorses this Show Ring Code of Ethics for all dairy breed shows and pledges its full cooperative support for its enforcement to show management, show judges, and the national breed associations. The application of this Code of Ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this Code of Ethics. Dairy cattle exhibitors shall, at all times, deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. It is recognized that there are certain practices in the proper care and management of dairy cattle that are necessary in the course of moving dairy cattle to and between shows that are advisable to keep them in a sound, healthy state so they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal condition. At all times, exhibition livestock shall be treated in a humane manner and in accordance with dairy quality assurance practices so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of the livestock and the consuming public. No person shall present for exhibition or exhibit an animal which he or she knows, or has reason to suspect, is affected with or has been exposed to a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, or illegal or non-approved use of drugs, medication and/or prohibited substance, or residue. The position of the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association is that all animals presented for exhibition shall be in their natural conformation and structure, free of any alteration or modification by injection or internal or external administration of any substance or by any involvement in unethical fitting. Grooming and Preparation Dairy cattle exhibitions are conducted under standards for evaluating conformation established by the PDCA Unified Score Card (1994), with specific breed characteristics taken into consideration by the show judge. In this connection, animals will be groomed and prepared for the judge’s evaluation in order to display the animal’s natural contour, conformation, performance and mobility. Specifically: 1. External applications of cosmetics that affect only appearance may be used, including by way of example hoof polishes and false switches. 2. The maximum allowable length of naturally growing hair anywhere on the topline is not to exceed 1 1/2”. Exhibitors will be required to comply with this rule before the animal is allowed to enter the ring. 3. Addition of foreign objects, including but not limited to hair or hair substitutes, cloth or fiber, to change the natural contour or appearance of the animal’s body is prohibited. 4. Externally sealing the teat end with a preparation that does not harm the animal’s skin is permissible. Natural teat placement will be given preference over artificially positioned teats. Violations: False, Deceptive or Unacceptable Practices These practices are violations of the Code of Ethics and will be reported to show management and may be reported to the respective national breed associations: 1. Misrepresenting the age and/or milking status of the animal for the class in which it is shown. 2. Treating the animal, particularly the udder, internally or externally: a. with an irritant or counter-irritant, b. using a device to artificially create or enhance the udder crease, c. using other substances as detected by testing that causes changes in the udder to artificially improve the conformation.

8

d. plugging of teat canal with foreign substances. 3. Surgical or unethical insertion of any matter under the skin or into body cavities, performed to change the natural contour or appearance of the animal’s body (e.g., administration of fluid via a stomach tube or other similar apparatus to fill the rumen), though not to preclude practices required or involved in normal management. 4. Criticizing or interfering with the judge, show management or other exhibitors while in the show ring or other conduct detrimental to the breed or the show. 5. Challenging, threatening or interfering with an ethics committee appointed by show management to monitor the animals on exhibit on the show grounds. Exhibitor Responsibility The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter and/or absolutely responsible person (hereinafter referred to as “Exhibitor”) for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, milk, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Materials may also be collected by ultrasound and photographic methods and by direct examination of animal. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter and/or absolutely responsible person (the “Exhibitor”) to have disciplinary action for violation of this Show Ring Code of Ethics taken by show management, the state in which the show occurs, and/or the national dairy breed association without recourse. 23. Violations of these policies are subject to disqualification and/or disciplinary provisions of the appropriate dairy breed association and/or show management. 24. STANDARDS FOR JUDGING SHOWMANSHIP (based on PDCA Fitting and Showing Scorecard) When judging showmanship, the PDCA now recommends the following levels of discrimination, with some expectations being age appropriate. May not impact placings A slight discrimination has little effect on final placing unless the class is extremely close and the contestants are of near equal merit. It is possible that a slight discrimination may not change the final placing. Slight discriminations — exhibitor:          

Inappropriate halter Lead strap tightly looped Walks slowly backward into the ring Sidesteps when leading calf Has stiff outstretched arm Has poor posture — overly stiff or slumped Improper head carriage — nose is too high Animal’s head is not turned slightly toward judge when hide is felt Stepping on or kicking at the animal’s front feet (a slight touch to move animal’s front feet is allowed and should not be discriminated against) Inappropriate size of animal for competitor

Slight discriminations — animal:     

Minor instances of animal not handling well Is not alert Muzzle is not wiped clean Switch is not brushed and fluffed Clipping lines not properly blended

The judge’s discretion 

Moderate discriminations impact a final placing to the degree to which the problem was present. The judge must make the decision and place the exhibitor according to his or her best judgment.

9

Moderate discriminations — exhibitor:                   

Not wearing white clothing or show approved attire Inappropriate attire that draws attention Wearing clothing with a logo Does not know birth date, fresh date, breeding date, or due date Unable to recognize type faults of the animal Halter not fitting or put together properly Has fingers in ring of the halter Failure to hold throat when needed Improper head carriage — head held too low Unable to show animal to best advantage Slow response to judge or ring official Inattentiveness Watching the judge too intently Overshowing Leading too slowly Has elbow or hands up Is too far to outside or inside of ring Incorrect spacing to the animal in front Failure to switch rear legs when the judge moves around the animal — on heifers the rear leg nearest the judge is back; milking and dry cows, rear leg nearest the judge is forward  Doesn’t walk quickly into line  Crowding or bumping others when in line  Leaving extra space in line  Failure to maintain a straight lineup  Moves excessively in line  Unable to back up animal  Legs incorrectly posed  Does not keep animal straight from head to tail  Chewing gum Moderate discriminations — animal:  Legs not clipped  Dirt or dust in hair coat  Dirt or wax in ears  Feet not cleaned  Excessive use of hair sprays, powder, or other fitting products  Clipping too early — hair appears too long  Incomplete clipping  Excessive clipping Bottom of the class Serious discriminations will have a significant effect on the final placing. Usually exhibitors demonstrating one of these behaviors will be placed in the lower half of the class. A general guideline is to place the animal about three fourths of the way down with adjustment up or down depending on the quality of other contestants. Serious discrimination — exhibitor  Lead strap looped and fastened  Striking the animal  Positioning the rear legs by stepping on feet  Fusses with or moves calf to the extreme  Minor instances of unsportsmanlike conduct  Late to class  Wearing inappropriate shoes  Chewing tobacco  Carries or talks on a cellphone  Serious discrimination — animal  Animal causing disturbances to others

10

Exhibitors will be disqualified if they:  Violate the PDCA Show Ring Code of Ethics  Exhibit unsportsmanlike conduct  Repeatedly strike the animal Toplines: 

Topline is groomed, doesn’t distract from the animal’s overall appearance, and conforms to the guidelines of the PDCA Show Ring Code of Ethics

HEALTH REGULATIONS FOR 2012 PENNSYLVANIA JUNIOR DAIRY SHOW (for cattle housed in PA) Health of Animals: No animal showing signs of infectious, contagious, or external parasitic disease will be allowed into the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center. However, exhibitors who observe an animal that may present a health hazard to other animals are asked to report the stall location to the show committee. The official show veterinarian in consultation with Show Management shall be responsible for determining the health status of all animals. Animals showing evidence of infectious, contagious, or external parasitic diseases shall be removed by their owner from the show grounds at the direction of Show Management. All animals must be accompanied by an official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate) and bear unique permanent identification. This Certificate of Veterinarian Inspection must be issued on or after August 17, 2012 so that it is issued within 30 days of the PA Junior Dairy Show. No animals will be admitted into the PA Farm Show Complex without the necessary health papers. Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship: By entry into the show, the exhibitor is confirming that he has established a Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship for the animals he is exhibiting. A Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship is a relationship in which the veterinarian has assumed the responsibility for making veterinary medical judgments regarding the health of the animal and the need for veterinary medical treatment and the owner or caretaker of the animal has agreed to follow the instructions of the veterinarian in relation to zoonotic diseases.

VACCINATION RECOMMENDATION It is highly recommended that all animals entering the state show be immunized against IBR, PI3 and BVD. It is strongly recommended that at least one vaccination against IBR, PI3, BRSV and BVD be given after January 1, 2012. Rabies vaccination recommended. All drug and vaccine label directions should be followed, including (but not limited to) milk and slaughter withdrawal periods. Tuberculosis and brucellosis requirements: 1. No tuberculosis test is required. 2. No brucellosis test is required.

All cattle for exhibition must be identified by a USDA-issued metal eartag; a breed registration tattoo if the tattoo is legible; a breed registration eartag; or an ISO-compliant 15-digit eartag (including RFID). If the check-in clerk cannot read the tattoo, the exhibitor is responsible for retattooing the animal before the check-in deadline. All show animals should be held in isolation for at least 30 days after returning to the herd of origin. Note: District shows that are affiliated with PA Fairs may have a different rabies vaccination requirement.
